In The Garden Poem by RIC BASTASA

in the garden of roses and daffodils
spreading grass on the ground
some rocks and stones
and highlights of cypress trees

and above the blue clouds floating in space
the sun keeping its golden rays
and the wind going to and fro
like an invisible pendulum

i am with you
and we are here
let me tell you
we do not have to understand all these things
their chemistry and purpose

we are not called upon to dissect colors and segregate scents
that is far from what i really want
let me hold your hands and i will let them land on my shoulders
then to my heart
i will make you feel you the beatings of my soul
look into my eyes and be calm

we simply watch and admire all these beautiful things around us
there is no reason for fear
we have all the reasons for loving

let me guide you to the world of wonder
all seeing and feeling and oh! aren't all these amazing?
